The AI Mindset: Bridging Industry and Academic Perspectives - DZone AI

Eventually, all organizations will have to leverage Machine Learning to stay competitive. Just like with the move to web applications, mobile applications, and the cloud, Machine Learning will be the norm, not the exception, to a modern technology stack. While there is certainly a lot of hype surrounding artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, there is also a very promising reality of augmenting conventional software development with software that learns from activities and can respond appropriately, and in ways not feasible with standard coding. However, the process involved in building effective machine learning technology is quite a bit different from regular software development and, as such, requires a different approach and mindset. This mindset requires acknowledging that machine learning development is largely a scientific process instead of a software development process.
